Meet Mr January

His heart-felt proposal to his girlfriend of six years, Rhian,
received the most votes during our December competition, earning
him the title of Mr January 2014!

Having just finished her final lecture for the year, Joe
whisked Rhian off on a surprise trip to the Lake
District.

Having lived in Canada for two years together before and
missing the beautiful terrain they had grown used to she was beyond
thrilled. A picturesque hotel and glorious weather
made it all the better.

The following morning they went on a hike.

"As we got to the top," explained Rhian, "there
wasn't a person around and the sky was as blue as the lakes
in-between the valleys. Joe said some of the most beautiful,
sentimental words to me… and then got down on one knee. It couldn't
have been more perfect. He even carried champagne and two glasses
up in his back pack!"
